Pen-to-paper (mark-making, color-coded expression, hand-written entries, daily tracking notes, doodles) is space to gain clarity and to reflect on our thoughts and feelings as well as what we need and desire.
A daily practice of right brain planning (mindfulness + compassion) is a way to sort and prioritize our desires in the external world—and a powerful way to pause and hold space with whatever we are experiencing internally.
What matters most?
Having a daily time for [pen-to-paper] is also a way to filter out the noise of “shoulds” and distractions, you can dive deeper into the “Why” behind your thoughts and actions.
- Keeping a daily journal (using a monthly calendar, weekly planner, line-journal or via free-writing) helps to connect us to our living; it helps to create order when busyness, ongoing challenges or unexpected circumstances cue a sense of disorientation.
Right brain planning is a way to externalize (put on paper to discern + process) what we are experiencing internally.
These tangible, introspective rituals allow us to prioritize our external living and foster a greater sense of calm and clarity internally.
There are two parts to right brain planner resources:
1) Prompts and Templates—themed content to provide inspiration and dated supplemental content during the calendar year and available to my Ko-fi patrons. ★
2) Thematic Guides—content and principles regarding a right brain planning practice to foster the habit of attention regarding your “constellations” [energies, habits and rhythms] with self-compassion:
Right Brain Planner is a collection of lunar + seasonal prompts and journal-planning ideas to encourage self-compassion and review, reflection and expression, discovery and healing.
Braveheart, we learn by doing: we discover details about ourselves through chronicled observation 👀✍️📔 because everything we experience is data. 📊
Data is value-neutral; it is neither “good’ or “bad”—it is merely information to use for our choices, intentions and conclusions. Remembering this helps us to live free from judgment and shoulds.
Thank you kindly for your presence here.
I appreciate your interest and support.
~love & good wishes~
